Chris Bracey
If you're not familiar with light artist Chris Bracey, then you most certainly will be with his art – huge, intricate neon works, often with cultural references, made from salvaged signage and lighting. A born-and-bred E17er, Chris has lived in Walthamstow his whole life and that’s where you'll find his studio God's Own Junkyard. His work, however, has travelled much further: this year he has shows planned for LA, Moscow, Singapore and India. In other words, he's quite literally lighting up the world!
